They aren't there, which game uses them?...If for some perverse reason you really want to use them to play a game, you can use 4DOS.

Dir, for example, is an internal command, so it isn't found in z:.[/quote]

On this topic, you should know that DOSBox's handling of dates is intentionally crippled. The day is not incremented at midnight.

Not sure if booting a DOS image solves this.
